Police are looking for a man who attempted to carjack another and then punched a witness in the face before running away.

According to a Chillicothe police report released Tuesday, a 33-year-old man said he was sitting in a car waiting for his wife and kids to come out of a home in the area of Rose and Fourth streets when a man approached the car about 12:27 a.m. Saturday. He cracked the door to hear what the man was saying when he heard "give me your car or I'll kill you" as the man put his hand in his jacket pocket as if he had a gun, according to the report.
